The Joy of Decorating: A Room Refreshing Adventure

As I sat in my newly decorated room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and satisfaction. The entire space had been transformed with new artwork, furniture, and decorative pieces that added a touch of elegance and sophistication. But what made this room truly special was the way everything came together to create a cohesive look that reflected my personal style.

First, I want to talk about the frame TV and the frame itself around it. I got these off of Amazon, and as you can see, they're super easy to use. With just one press of a button, I can switch from watching my favorite show on Netflix back to the black screen. It's really cool, and I love how seamless the transition is. To add some visual interest to the room, I also uploaded a new piece of artwork onto the TV. I got this from Etsy, and it was surprisingly easy to upload and set up.

In addition to the new artwork, my room now features a beautiful CB2 wooden bowl that I pre-ordered as soon as it went into stock. The combination of the wood and ceramic elements adds a nice textural element to the space, and I love how it catches the light. And speaking of favorite things, my regulars know that no room is complete without my trusty candle. This particular scent, which I've dubbed "spiritual," always makes me feel most at home. The iron container is made in France, just like the rest of the candles, and it's truly extraordinary.

One of the highlights of my new room is definitely the book that features Norm Architects' work. As an interior design enthusiast, I love flipping through pages filled with beautiful images and inspiring ideas. The way this book becomes part of the decor itself is genius – I can leave it open on a coffee table or stack books on top of it, making it a statement piece in the room.

For a finishing touch, I brought in some new decorative elements to complement the existing white accents in the space. A fluted bowl from CB2 adds a beautiful texture and interest to the room, while the chair from Restoration Hardware is still being debated – will I switch it up for something more statement-making? Only time will tell.

As I walked around my newly decorated room, I couldn't help but notice how much joy it brought me. Whether it's a new artwork, a decorative pillow, or a piece of furniture, there's always something to discover and appreciate in this space. And that's the beauty of decorating – it's not just about having beautiful things, but also about creating a space that reflects your personality and style.

we can give you the full tour we we'll we'll be working on all that and then we'll give you a full tour how about that all right here we go guys what do you think I'm pretty excited and I have to be honest with you I really didn't think I was going to like it there there you go that's the truth I really didn't think I was going to like it that's why it took over a year to think about it because I knew that these sort of warm beige kind of creamy colors were really coming back in style and I was like not sure if I'm going to like that so I've been thinking about it for a really long time and this was the one that for sure my husband didn't really care for it being dark I did I still love it I still really really like the really dark color before it was Locust Black by Benjamin Moore and now it is natural cream by Benjamin Moore I write all that stuff down in the comments just in case you don't have a pencil or pen and paper nearby I always write all that down in the show notes and I will have all the links for as many of the items as I can that's in the room today I'll have all that linked down for you down below now one of the big changes that I have made that is Permanente as they say I took out the scones I love the sconces I have kept the scones however the light that was coming out of them was just it just wasn't very nice and it we found ourselves putting lamps in here so that we didn't have to turn the scones on which completely defeats the purpose and I had even added in the switch behind the bed so I am not opposed two sconces but I think that we were just kind of like yeah we're kind of over the sconce thing I wanted to take just a moment and thank our video sponsor for today which is Lily silk they are so sweet because they heard that I was redoing my room and they have sent me some beautiful gifts I am a huge fan of Lily silk I have been for a really long time I own many of their items in fact the little silk trousers that I'm wearing today these are amazing they are so beautiful look at how pretty these are I love them and I live in them all the time because it feels like you're wearing silk pajamas and you can go outside in them so I love it they've also sent me this beautiful beautiful top I live in their silk tops the quality of Lily silk is just outrageously good it's so good it's still really affordable Lily silk only uses the top best quality natural products like the Mulberry silk silk is not all the same and and the reason that I love Lily silk so much is because they use the Mulberry silk which is the highest quality it is the ultimate luxury and I have all different types of blouses I've got the trousers I've got so many different oh the scrunchies oh my goodness everybody always steals my scrunchies so I'm hoping that that is what is in this box so let me just open this one with you isn't the packaging from Milly silk amazing I have to admit I did get a little impatient and opened a couple things so that's why I'm able to wear the shirt but in here it's all wrapped really nicely and oh my goodness we have got their little sleep set this comes with a set of their silk scrunchies these are the best everyone steals these from me you also get the beautiful eye mask in here and I think that their silk pillow cases are the best this is the way to really get your hair really in good shape it it's a very breathable material and so uh it's just amazing for your hair and I've really seen a difference Since switching over to their silk products they also sent me a beautiful pair of pajamas oh I'm so excited I I own a pair of their black pajamas and I wear them constantly they're really really soft again it comes down to breathability being able to sleep really well I feel like it's it's like a second skin and so it you just don't feel it like it it's just so soft and it's the only thing I can sleep in so I've got one last one to open with you and I cannot wait to see what they have sent me so shall we open our last one oh boy and let's see what we've got is I think the packaging just makes it so wonderful wow wow oh my gosh they have sent me their fitted sheet that's going to be amazing

code and I'm going to leave all the links down below for you I will have all the details listed Down Below in the show notes and now let's uh finish touring this room shall we instead of putting the Olive Tree on the other side of the room I put it over here I think it just really fills in the corner really nicely that is another Amazon find and I love it and then back here I've got my uh same exact nightstands I really do love these nightstands I love the little like geometric look on them that sort of stud look on them I really love that I love the fact that they have that open shelf where I can play some books and then right now I these are I actually stole them from my son's room so I will either have to buy myself new lamps or him new lamps because somebody's missing lamps at the moment and clearly it's not me so uh these are just inexpensive ones from Target and I just think they add a little bit of a little bit more rustic kind of feel this little thing I found it at my local Antique Market uh ammonite I think is what these things are called and I have no idea what it's made of it's extremely heavy actually and it's really really cool and I've got just sort of these rustic Linens and you know textured items and a home away from home is an amazing book if you do not have this yet you need it it's it features all kinds of beautifully designed homes which you can go and stay in you can actually book a stay at them so it's really really cool the other thing I've done in here is that I have stolen my art piece from the bathroom I painted this one literally over a piece of of art that I bought at homegood so I just didn't like what was on there and so I just took a paintbrush and painted right over it and I I kind of feel like maybe I need a little bit more of a punch but you know I didn't spend any money on the room uh other than the paint and having the electrician install the electrical so I just used what I had so when I decided to do this crazy little experiment it was my intention to just check it out see if I liked it and then we just paint it back you know if I didn't like it and now I'm like this may have to stay but I do feel like you know when I'm really going to be designing out the space I might put some of I need to pick some of my own lamps and I I might put a different piece of artwork here cuz I don't know what's going to go in the bathroom if I keep this one here I still have my same bed in here this is the one from West Elm I love the B Clay on it I love the B clay I love that sort of feeling I like the way that it just it I actually almost match the color on the wall almost perfectly to this it it is actually more more of a creamy white rather than a pure white it it's an amazing bed uh then I've got the gorgeous linen pillows on the bed I've got it layered up the back pillows are actually an Amazon find the front pillows and the quilt are also from West Elm like the bed they're really great the quality on all these items is really high it really just helps lighten and brighten the room it really just helps the space to feel summery and light and Airy and it just Mak me so excited about wearing summer dresses and you know that that feeling that you get in your heart when the sun is shining and it's warm outside and the bees are buzzing outside the window and okay that's what Lena does to me you can let me know if it has that effect on you but I just get so excited I did put back on the linen duvet in this creamy color so I've gone for creams with white sheets so I've done I've done a couple layers of the cream and then mixed in a little bit of the white so I think you can do that you can layer on these neutral colors on the bed really just gives you a nice warm depth to it rather than it all being one color so down at the foot of the bed I brought in this is a bench that article gave me a while ago this is the shorter one I think ideally I would have the longer bench in here but at the moment I've got it stacked with some books I love this Colombian I think it's called Chom choma oh shoot I can't remember the name I will put a link for it uh you can find it on Etsy sometimes you can find a little bit on Amazon but it is literally made in the same exact way that it was made hundreds of hundreds of years ago in Colombia with the original technique and it's just so cool and so I've brought in these sort of rostic patinas like there's just a raw feeling to it it's it's very raw feeling and I think that when you bring those Textures in you mix it with a leather bench and Linen on the bed it just gives you this sort of like this like grit and contrast and I'm just I'm so happy with it I love it before we go too far let me just give you a little peek into the bathroom because I've had my guys here all week they finished this room and we move we haven't even finished this room cuz I still have to get them to come back and do some trim work and some other little touch-ups and stuff but they were so excited to get the bathroom going that they went they were like let's just get started on the bathroom I was like okay so we add a lime wash to that so stay tuned because I'm going to be sharing that hopefully with you on the next video but I did want to show you how uh hang on I'll show you watch so when it's just the when the doors are closed look at how nice it is to just have that really seamless look but before the doors were dark and I thought if I'm going to go ahead and do the light walls I want to do the light doors as well and then lead into the bathroom in the same color so there you go there you go what do you guys think I think it's going to be absolutely gorgeous we've got to finish it up and I'll share that with you soon but I think that this just a very cohesive feel and the closet behind it is done in a very similar color as these rooms and so I just love the cohesion between these spaces and it's just it's got me giddy clearly I'm like on a high right now I'm not high I'm just on a high just wanted to clarify let's go back here want to show you what I did back there all right so I just gave you guys a whole tour of this space and forgot to record I will try my best to do it just as well the second time around I'm like oh no oh no well anyways I was just telling you guys then I put these beautiful art pieces up here I've got them in an arrangement of four because I love the architectural feel of that I love to have a little bit of balance in my spaces I have discovered over time that I really do like it when I have something that feels very structured and then something that is a little bit like soft or something that kind of throws that balance off just a little bit so I have paired these prints which uh as I just told you even though you don't know I just told you that I had the prints uh printed up for those locally and they look terrible the quality is awful and so I've going to reprint the prints that we supposed to go in here cuz this is literally what these came with these are from Target but I always leak something similar for you guys uh but yeah I like having the four up here as I touch my Olive Branch I think bringing in this sort of curval linear lamp helps really soften that structure this is one from West Elm I've had it for a couple years I've moved it all over my house it's a really great piece it's really classic and right now I think it's just adding just a little softness to this area then I've got my sphere this is the one that I bought from a local Garden Center but I try to link up something similar for you guys cuz they are a little bit hard to find online and then I've got designing your world I think these are sold out now but I will leave it linked up it's an amazing book not only does it have beautiful Interiors inside of it but it also has this really great linen cover then back here I've got the olive branches which I think again just adds a little bit of life a little bit of Interest a little bit of movement back in there and I've got them in these vases which I found at Zara and I absolutely freaked over these because look at the texture in these they are incredible now over here I've got the matching nightstand to the other side so I went back to matching nightstands I try to do mismatch I try to do the shaped ones you know like a a little table that was a little bit more architectural and kind of interesting but honestly we just put stuff in our drawers I really like these as I said about the other side because of the just the little interest that it has on the front uh and I think that bringing the black around the room through the dresser and through the nightstands and keeping that the same it brings for me the structure that I really crave and then I've just kind of broken it up in other ways so you can have your furniture in all one color it could also have done Mis match colors here and maybe just chosen two color tones but I really like it all being black uh these are from RH the these have these other little ones are just from Amazon so they're really affordable and actually really good quality so I'll leave a link for all that stuff for you uh then over here I've got soft minimal my husband has been obsessing over this one this is his side I've got this one sitting here because he's been obsessively reading and looking through this one this is by Norm architect it's our favorite architect firm out of Copenhagen if you guys know us you know we lived there for 6 years and so I've been a fan of their work for a really long time and their book is just absolutely stunning so of course it needs to look right on the outside so it can act as decor and then of course the inside is just breathtaking and then I've got the Onyx catch all if you are one of my regulars you guys have seen this piece move all around the house if you haven't watched our past videos I really recommend it because what you'll see is that a lot of times we take a lot of the same pieces and show you lots of different ways to style them up so when you get to where you're fatigued by an item you'll be able to pull it back and move it to a different room and so we try our best to focus on buying some beautiful classic pieces that really just have that longevity to them you want to keep year after year season after season and they they just last and so this being made of that onx just is an amazing piece and for me I think is really important to bring the beige color I keep saying beige but honestly it's really cream it's this creamy I mean it is literally cream uh bringing that color back through the accessories to really warm up the space help it to feel cohesive we did that through the Linens we've done it through the accessories through the catch all through the vases you see it in the linen and then that rough texture and then there's that little bit of white to still keep it kind of crisp I um finally have gotten the door patch back here I've got this beautiful shade I love the hounds tooth now all of the exterior doors are black so I did leave the exterior door black which I think still works I think you can absolutely have two different elements going on in space especially for us because that black is represented multiple ways throughout the room then up here I've got the Samsung frame TV and at the moment Jack's got it turned off probably because he's worried that it will kind of uh blind you guys but let's see if we can manage to get us back to let's see hopefully that won't blink too much it always feels really bright for you guys uh yeah it might just be too much but anyways I've got some new artwork in here I've got the frame TV and the frame itself around it I got those off of Amazon you can literally just with a single press go right back to the black screen single press to go to Prime Netflix I literally love this thing so I got the new piece of artwork off of etsy and then you just upload it to the TV it's really cool it's really really cool I've got a bunch in there now I'll leave the link for the where I bought them from because there's a bunch to go through on Etsy am so excited that my little CB2 little black wood bowl arrived I mean oh my gosh so I pre-ordered it so I could have it right away and at the moment it is in stock so I will leave a wait for you guys but I love to add again you got a little bit of wood you've got the ceramic uh of course you know that there's no way I'm going to you know cist in a new room without my favorite fragrance which is spiritual I know my regulars are like let me guess it's the this this is the fragrance that makes me feel most at home and I really love it and I love the the iron little container these are still made in France and they are extraordinary and you can burn it for just a little bit and the whole room will smell incredible and then which book do I have out this is world's finest homes they they are absolutely amazing here's some more of that Norm architect's work that happens to be in this book as well and uh lots of beautiful pages and I think that's what I love I love that you can take the book you can leave it open you can shut it you can put stuff on top of it you could just leave it by itself and the book becomes part of your decor and then back here I've got I think this was in here before now I can't remember the fluted bowl from CB2 it's just amazing I love the texture that it adds I love the interest that it brings into the room and it is quite white so I think bringing in some of those white elements just makes a big difference now back here I did actually put the pictures back up on the wall at first I wasn't going to and it just felt like the room wasn't finished uh I did leave the rug in here from when we had just had it switched up after the holidays I just love the texture of this this one it's absolutely gorgeous another Amazon find I do have the chair from Restoration Hardware or RH as they call themselves uh at the moment I I really thought about maybe switching it up I really thought for a while it would be really fun to go for a little bit more of a statement chair it's something that I'm still thinking about going let this kind of sit in simmer for a few days and see how I feel afterwards and then I've also got this little pillow which everybody always wants to know where I got these you know it was really hard to get these I bought them in Morocco and they're very difficult I will try to leave a link for you for something similar but they there haven't been so many of them recently on Etsy and that was the only place I could ever find them besides Morocco but we are getting ready to go to Morocco in just a couple weeks and we will be taking you guys with us so you definitely want to make sure you are a subscriber because you don't want to miss out on getting to go to Morocco hopefully we will be buying more pillows hopefully will we will be buying some more Ceramics and some amazing cool pieces and I think that's what's the fun is like I kind of set a room and then I know that over time things will just kind of get moved around and I'll switch up the books I'll bring in a different candle and I think that's just a lot of fun so I hope you've enjoyed today's video you'll have to let me know if you like the lighter

they also sent me a beautiful pair of pajamas oh I'm so excited I I own a pair of their black pajamas and I wear them constantly they're really really soft again it comes down to breathability being

finish touring this room shall we instead of putting the Olive Tree on the other side of the room I put it over here I think it just really fills in the corner really nicely that is another Amazon find and I love it and then back here I've got my uh same exact nightstands I really do love these nightstands I love the little like geometric look on them that sort of stud look on them I really love that I love the fact that they have that open shelf where I can play some books and then right now I these are I actually stole them from my son's room so I will either have to buy myself new lamps or him new lamps because somebody's missing lamps at the moment and clearly it's not me so uh these are just inexpensive ones from Target and I just think they add a little bit of a little bit more rustic kind of feel this little thing I found it at my local Antique Market uh ammonite I think is what these things are called and I have no idea what it's made of it's extremely heavy actually and it's really really cool and I've got just sort of these rustic Linens and you know textured items and a home away from home is an amazing book if you do not have this yet you need it it's it features all kinds of beautifully designed homes which you can go and stay in you can actually book a stay at them so it's really really cool the other thing I've done in here is that I have stolen my art piece from the bathroom I painted this one literally over a piece of of art that I bought at homegood so I just didn't like what was on there and so I just took a paintbrush and painted right over it and I I kind of feel like maybe I need a little bit more of a punch but you know I didn't spend any money on the room uh other than the paint and having the electrician install the electrical so I just used what I had so when I decided to do this crazy little experiment it was my intention to just check it out see if I liked it and then we just paint it back you know if I didn't like it and now I'm like this may have to stay but I do feel like you know when I'm really going to be designing out the space I might put some of I need to pick some of my own lamps and I I might put a different piece of artwork here cuz I don't know what's going to go in the bathroom if I keep this one here I still have my same bed in here this is the one from West Elm I love the B Clay on it I love the B clay I love that sort of feeling I like the way that it just it I actually almost match the color on the wall almost perfectly to this it it is actually more more of a creamy white rather than a pure white it it's an amazing bed uh then I've got the gorgeous linen pillows on the bed I've got it layered up the back pillows are actually an Amazon find the front pillows and the quilt are also from West Elm like the bed they're really great the quality on all these items is really high it really just helps lighten and brighten the room it really just helps the space to feel summery and light and Airy and it just Mak me so excited about wearing summer dresses and you know that that feeling that you get in your heart when the sun is shining and it's warm outside and the bees are buzzing outside the window and okay that's what Lena does to me you can let me know if it has that effect on you but I just get so excited I did put back on the linen duvet in this creamy color so I've gone for creams with white sheets so I've done I've done a couple layers of the cream and then mixed in a little bit of the white so I think you can do that you can layer on these neutral colors on the bed really just gives you a nice warm depth to it rather than it all being one color so down at the foot of the bed I brought in this is a bench that article gave me a while ago this is the shorter one I think ideally I would have the longer bench in here but at the moment I've got it stacked with some books I love this Colombian I think it's called Chom choma oh shoot I can't remember the name I will put a link for it uh you can find it on Etsy sometimes you can find a little bit on Amazon but it is literally made in the same exact way that it was made hundreds of hundreds of years ago in Colombia with the original technique and it's just so cool and so I've brought in these sort of rostic patinas like there's just a raw feeling to it it's it's very raw feeling and I think that when you bring those Textures in you mix it with a leather bench and Linen on the bed it just gives you this sort of like this like grit and contrast and I'm just I'm so happy with it I love it before we go too far let me just give you a little peek into the bathroom because I've had my guys here all week they finished this room and we move we haven't even finished this room cuz I still have to get them to come back and do some trim work and some other little touch-ups and stuff but they were so excited to get the bathroom going that they went they were like let's just get started on the bathroom I was like okay so we add a lime wash to that so stay tuned because I'm going to be sharing that hopefully with you on the next video but I did want to show you how uh hang on I'll show you watch so when it's just the when the doors are closed look at how nice it is to just have that really seamless look but before the doors were dark and I thought if I'm going to go ahead and do the light walls I want to do the light doors as well and then lead into the bathroom in the same color so there you go there you go what do you guys think I think it's going to be absolutely gorgeous we've got to finish it up and I'll share that with you soon but I think that this just a very cohesive feel and the closet behind it is done in a very similar color as these rooms and so I just love the cohesion between these spaces and it's just it's got me giddy clearly I'm like on a high right now I'm not high I'm just on a high just wanted to clarify let's go back here want to show you what I did back there all right so I just gave you guys a whole tour of this space and forgot to record I will try my best to do it just as well the second time around I'm like oh no oh no well anyways I was just telling you guys then I put these beautiful art pieces up here I've got them in an arrangement of four because I love the architectural feel of that I love to have a little bit of balance in my spaces I have discovered over time that I really do like it when I have something that feels very structured and then something that is a little bit like soft or something that kind of throws that balance off just a little bit so I have paired these prints which uh as I just told you even though you don't know I just told you that I had the prints uh printed up for those locally and they look terrible the quality is awful and so I've going to reprint the prints that we supposed to go in here cuz this is literally what these came with these are from Target but I always leak something similar for you guys uh but yeah I like having the four up here as I touch my Olive Branch I think bringing in this sort of curval linear lamp helps really soften that structure this is one from West Elm I've had it for a couple years I've moved it all over my house it's a really great piece it's really classic and right now I think it's just adding just a little softness to this area then I've got my sphere this is the one that I bought from a local Garden Center but I try to link up something similar for you guys cuz they are a little bit hard to find online and then I've got designing your world I think these are sold out now but I will leave it linked up it's an amazing book not only does it have beautiful Interiors inside of it but it also has this really great linen cover then back here I've got the olive branches which I think again just adds a little bit of life a little bit of Interest a little bit of movement back in there and I've got them in these vases which I found at Zara and I absolutely freaked over these because look at the texture in these they are incredible now over here I've got the matching nightstand to the other side so I went back to matching nightstands I try to do mismatch I try to do the shaped ones you know like a a little table that was a little bit more architectural and kind of interesting but honestly we just put stuff in our drawers I really like these as I said about the other side because of the just the little interest that it has on the front uh and I think that bringing the black around the room through the dresser and through the nightstands and keeping that the same it brings for me the structure that I really crave and then I've just kind of broken it up in other ways so you can have your furniture in all one color it could also have done Mis match colors here and maybe just chosen two color tones but I really like it all being black uh these are from RH the these have these other little ones are just from Amazon so they're really affordable and actually really good quality so I'll leave a link for all that stuff for you uh then over here I've got soft minimal my husband has been obsessing over this one this is his side I've got this one sitting here because he's been obsessively reading and looking through this one this is by Norm architect it's our favorite architect firm out of Copenhagen if you guys know us you know we lived there for 6 years and so I've been a fan of their work for a really long time and their book is just absolutely stunning so of course it needs to look right on the outside so it can act as decor and then of course the inside is just breathtaking and then I've got the Onyx catch all if you are one of my regulars you guys have seen this piece move all around the house if you haven't watched our past videos I really recommend it because what you'll see is that a lot of times we take a lot of the same pieces and show you lots of different ways to style them up so when you get to where you're fatigued by an item you'll be able to pull it back and move it to a different room and so we try our best to focus on buying some beautiful classic pieces that really just have that longevity to them you want to keep year after year season after season and they they just last and so this being made of that onx just is an amazing piece and for me I think is really important to bring the beige color I keep saying beige but honestly it's really cream it's this creamy I mean it is literally cream uh bringing that color back through the accessories to really warm up the space help it to feel cohesive we did that through the Linens we've done it through the accessories through the catch all through the vases you see it in the linen and then that rough texture and then there's that little bit of white to still keep it kind of crisp I um finally have gotten the door patch back here I've got this beautiful shade I love the hounds tooth now all of the exterior doors are black so I did leave the exterior door black which I think still works I think you can absolutely have two different elements going on in space especially for us because that black is represented multiple ways throughout the room then up here I've got the Samsung frame TV and at the moment Jack's got it turned off probably because he's worried that it will kind of uh blind you guys but let's see if we can manage to get us back to let's see hopefully that won't blink too much it always feels really bright for you guys uh yeah it might just be too much but anyways I've got some new artwork in here I've got the frame TV and the frame itself around it I got those off of Amazon you can literally just with a single press go right back to the black screen single press to go to Prime Netflix I literally love this thing so I got the new piece of artwork off of etsy and then you just upload it to the TV it's really cool it's really really cool I've got a bunch in there now I'll leave the link for the where I bought them from because there's a bunch to go through on Etsy am so excited that my little CB2 little black wood bowl arrived I mean oh my gosh so I pre-ordered it so I could have it right away and at the moment it is in stock so I will leave a wait for you guys but I love to add again you got a little bit of wood you've got the ceramic uh of course you know that there's no way I'm going to you know cist in a new room without my favorite fragrance which is spiritual I know my regulars are like let me guess it's the this this is the fragrance that makes me feel most at home and I really love it and I love the the iron little container these are still made in France and they are extraordinary and you can burn it for just a little bit and the whole room will smell incredible and then which book do I have out this is world's finest homes they they are absolutely amazing here's some more of that Norm architect's work that happens to be in this book as well and uh lots of beautiful pages and I think that's what I love I love that you can take the book you can leave it open you can shut it you can put stuff on top of it you could just leave it by itself and the book becomes part of your decor and then back here I've got I think this was in here before now I can't remember the fluted bowl from CB2 it's just amazing I love the texture that it adds I love the interest that it brings into the room and it is quite white so I think bringing in some of those white elements just makes a big difference now back here I did actually put the pictures back up on the wall at first I wasn't going to and it just felt like the room wasn't finished uh I did leave the rug in here from when we had just had it switched up after the holidays I just love the texture of this this one it's absolutely gorgeous another Amazon find I do have the chair from Restoration Hardware or RH as they call themselves uh at the moment I I really thought about maybe switching it up I really thought for a while it would be really fun to go for a little bit more of a statement chair it's something that I'm still thinking about going let this kind of sit in simmer for a few days and see how I feel afterwards and then I've also got this little pillow which everybody always wants to know where I got these you know it was really hard to get these I bought them in Morocco and they're very difficult I will try to leave a link for you for something similar but they there haven't been so many of them recently on Etsy and that was the only place I could ever find them besides Morocco but we are getting ready to go to Morocco in just a couple weeks and we will be taking you guys with us so you definitely want to make sure you are a subscriber because you don't want to miss out on getting to go to Morocco hopefully we will be buying more pillows hopefully will we will be buying some more Ceramics and some amazing cool pieces and I think that's what's the fun is like I kind of set a room and then I know that over time things will just kind of get moved around and I'll switch up the books I'll bring in a different candle and I think that's just a lot of fun so I hope you've enjoyed today's video you'll have to let me know if you like the lighter color I wanted to give you a full tour so you could really see the color on all the different sides get a feel for it I'm going
